Welcome to CAD's Environmental Report 2003.
CAD as the civil aviation authority of Hong Kong is committed to adopt a balanced approach on handling aircraft noise matters such that our community and aviation activities may co-exist in harmony. Apart from contributing towards Hong Kong's environmental quality by mitigating the effects of aircraft noise, CAD also self-regulates its internal operations in the interest of the eco-system.
Looking back on its performance last year, CAD has managed to complete almost all its environmental targets with the exception of increase in electricity consumption in CAD premises . This was mainly due to the need to adopt various environmental precautions, such as increasing fresh air supply, etc., against the spread of the SARS. Concerning its environmental targets for 2004, CAD has made no substantial revisions except tightening up on paper and energy consumption in order to incorporate the yardsticks given by the Environment, Transport and Works Bureau.
